Chapter 368 Sending Money
Lin Pianran deliberately wore a veil today and rode in a very inconspicuous black carriage.
After leaving Qingshi Town, the exile team headed west and is expected to reach Yaocheng tomorrow.
Her carriage followed the exile group at a close distance, moving forward slowly.
It didn't attract anyone else's attention.
As early as when they arrived in the capital, the exiled people were ordered to change their fine clothes into coarse linen clothes, take off all their jewelry, and could only wear straw sandals when traveling.
Although they were not far from the capital, the three days of non-stop travel still made these nobles who had once lived a life of luxury feel miserable and tortured.
Each of their clothes was stained with dirt and weathered, becoming extremely dirty and covered with bloodstains.
In addition to the people from the second branch of the Han family who were exiled, there were also Zhu Yufang's family members, plus some criminals who committed crimes for other reasons. The exiled team actually amounted to more than 40 people.
Including a dozen yamen runners, their team had a total of about sixty people.
The exile team walked very slowly, and the simple straw sandals they wore on their feet had long been worn to tatters. At this moment, the soles of many people's feet were covered with blisters, and large areas of skin and flesh were worn out on the soles of their feet, mixed with mud and blood, a bloody mess that was extremely horrible to look at.
The exiles were tired and hungry, but they could only endure it silently and stagger forward.
Witnessing this scene, Lin Pianran felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
Han Zimo and Zhu Yufang, this couple, had done so many immoral things in the past. They cruelly abandoned the innocent young girl, less than six years old, to a beggars' den, leaving her to fend for herself. They also secretly plotted to marry Han Yunxi off to a "wolf's den" and wantonly trampled on their eldest brother's marriage...
However, he shamelessly relied on the glorious military exploits of the two brothers Han Zizeng and Han Ziquan to seek personal gain in the court, paving a road to wealth and glory for himself and his children, and enjoying a luxurious feast that did not belong to them.
Now, this vicious family finally got their comeuppance.
Lin Pianran watched all this coldly, sighing in her heart about cause and effect.
Suddenly, Lin Pianran's eyes caught a slightly plump middle-aged couple. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed closely by four or five respectful servants.
The middle-aged man made a gesture with his eyes, and a smart servant immediately understood. He took out a heavy purse, presented it with both hands, bowed slightly to the yamen runners, and spoke in a humble tone.
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear officer. This money will give you a snack to go with your wine. My master wants to spend some time with the Han family."
Seeing this, the yamen runners couldn't hide a hint of satisfaction on their faces. Their previously cautious expressions relaxed. After exchanging a knowing glance, one of them said, "Since that's the case, let's fight quickly and decisively. Don't delay our departure."
After saying this, he waved his hand gently, which was considered as his tacit agreement.
"Yes... yes... it only takes us a quarter of an hour. Please give us some time."
The yamen runners consciously walked away a little to give them space to talk.
Lin Pianran watched this scene from afar, with a cruel smile on his lips.
It seems that General Han has sent people to arrive early!
Fortunately, she made plans early, arrived early, and followed the exile team not far away.
Otherwise you will really miss them, and it will be difficult to detect their sneaky whereabouts!
I just don't know when and where they're going to start.
Lin Pianran planned to keep his troops in place, wait and see how the situation developed, and then respond to all changes with the same attitude.
It would be best if we could find a good opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.
At this time, the middle-aged man pulled Han Zimo to a remote place, took out a heavy package from his arms, and quietly stuffed it into Han Zimo's arms. After giving him some detailed instructions, he left reluctantly.
Lin Pianran observed the middle-aged couple. They were dressed casually and behaved politely, unlike the officials in the court who were so rigid and polite. They seemed to be uninhibited and casual.
Lin Pianran could conclude that they were not officials, nor were they from the capital.
It can be preliminarily concluded that they are all people from the underworld.
And since he is so close to Han Zimo, they must be family members.
In all likelihood, they must be General Han’s other children, who were asked by the old general to come and take care of Han Zimo.
Han Chaolin saw his sister staring at Han Zimo and the middle-aged couple without blinking, and seemed quite interested in them. He couldn't help but ask, "Sister, is there anything wrong with them? Have you found any problems?"
Lin Pianran chuckled strangely.
"Well, we caught them by the tail."
"If I'm guessing correctly, this middle-aged couple is also the descendants of the old general, or Han Zimo's brothers..."
Han Chaolin had a look of confusion on his face. He really couldn't understand how his sister could tell after just a few glances from a distance.
Lin Pianran glanced at him sideways, then had to explain patiently and tell him her findings one by one.
Han Chaolin looked at the childish little sister in front of him and felt very incredible.
My sister's eyes are like golden pupils. No matter what kind of monsters and demons are in front of her, they will be exposed and their true colors will be revealed.
After a long while, the middle-aged couple left reluctantly.
Jing Yu couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked softly, "Miss, do you want to keep them here?"
Lin Pianran shook her head slightly, her expression calm and solemn.
"Don't do anything yet. Send someone to follow them and find out where they are staying and see if the old general is traveling with them."
"If the old general really came here, then perhaps we wouldn't have to travel day and night and go to Yaocheng at all costs."
Upon hearing this, Jingyu's mind suddenly became clear, and he quickly turned around to arrange for people to follow him.
Lin Pianran slowly pulled out a stack of five thousand taels of silver notes from her sleeve, and then handed it to Han Chaolin.
"Brother, everyone has gone to give Han Zimo some money for his journey. You should also show your filial piety to your second uncle."
Han Chaolin pointed at his nose and snorted coldly, showing that he was very resistant.
"Sister, do you think I'm that stupid? I still remember vividly how Han Zimo and his family plotted against our eldest wife. It's etched in my memory."
"He has done so many unscrupulous things to our eldest wife. His evil deeds are too numerous to list. Deep down, I hate them so much that I wish they were all dead..."
Han Chaolin's eyes were red, filled with endless hatred.
